FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for serious running training?

Yes, the GEL-NIMBUS 10.1 features advanced cushioning (dual-layer EVA foam, GEL™ technology) and stability (TRUSSTIC™ system) that make it suitable for daily training, moderate distances, and providing sustained comfort during runs.

What is the 'asymmetric upper' and 'open mesh design'?

The 'asymmetric upper' refers to a design that contours more closely to the foot's natural shape, offering a personalized feel. The 'open mesh design' ensures excellent ventilation, allowing air to circulate freely to keep your feet cool.

Can I wear these shoes for everyday casual use?

Absolutely. While designed with running tech, their superior comfort, stability, and distinctive retro-modern style make them an excellent choice for all-day casual wear, walking, and complementing your everyday outfits.

How do I clean my GEL-NIMBUS 10.1 shoes?

For best results, use a soft brush or cloth with mild soap and cold water to gently clean soiled areas. Air dry completely at room temperature, away from direct heat. Avoid machine washing or drying.

What does the TRUSSTIC™ system do?

The TRUSSTIC™ system is a technology integrated into the midfoot of the shoe that provides enhanced stability and structural integrity. It helps to control torsion and support the arch, promoting a more efficient and comfortable stride.

What is the difference between the GEL-NIMBUS 10.1 and the original GEL-NIMBUS 10?

The GEL-NIMBUS 10.1 is a 'redefined' version of the 2008 classic. It combines the aesthetic of the original GEL-Nimbus 10 upper with the sole unit of the GEL-Kayano 14, integrating modern cushioning and stability technologies for updated performance and comfort while retaining a retro look.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or loose.

Check lacing. Ensure laces are evenly tightened across the foot. Adjust lacing style (e.g., skip an eyelet) for specific pressure points. Consider trying on different sock thicknesses.

Foot discomfort or rubbing during wear.

Gradually break in new shoes with shorter wear periods. Ensure appropriate sock choice (moisture-wicking, seamless). Re-evaluate sizing if discomfort persists, as fit is crucial.

Squeaking sound from shoes.

This can sometimes be caused by insoles rubbing against the shoe's interior. Try removing and reinserting insoles, or lightly sprinkling baby powder underneath them. If the squeak is from the sole, it usually resolves with wear.

Shoes retain odor after use.

Allow shoes to air out completely after each wear. Remove insoles to aid drying. Use shoe deodorizers or sprinkle baking soda inside the shoes overnight (then shake out). Ensure regular cleaning of the interior if possible.

Care:

  2. Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage materials.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
  4. Avoid Machine Washing: Do not machine wash or machine dry the shoes, as this can degrade the cushioning and structural components.
  5. Insoles: Removable insoles can be taken out and air-dried separately to prevent odor buildup.
